On a different note…Can someone explain how he was named so quickly while not carrying I.d. We are told he was identified through DNA. If, as we are told, he has no criminal record where was his dna filed, and for what purpose.
Is it possible he was on FBI radar and known to authorities?
I don't think this image will be forgotten ever. May go down as one of the most iconic photos in US history.
It will all be forgotten in a few days, but Trump will still be a rapist and convicted felon.
Trump is not just 'someone I don't agree with'. He is an oppressor. He doesn't deserve the same consideration as someone who is oppressed. It's very simple.
So make your insinuations and we'll keep count if how many things you're simply wrong about.
in the near future assassins won’t use guns, it will be a swarm of drones… maybe rallies outside will be a thing of the past ?
great movie, possibly the best in the series.
shooter looks like a transexualist, not sure if a man trying to become a women or vice versa.
Trump will do no such thing, because despite what happened he is a narcissistic piece of **** who cares nothing about anyone else apart from himself.
As I said, I'm more curious as to why Trump doesn't think one of supporters getting murdered at one of his rallies was "unthinkable".
Because one act will be forgotten in a few days. For instance, how many people could name the people murdered by violent left wing things who destroyed dozens of city centres back in 2020.
Another act could have provoked a Civil War.
My god, does that have to be explained.
Anyone wondering how a lone gunman managed to crawl along the nearest roof to the stage and take 5 shots at the Presidential front runner despite the presence of the Sectret service and vocal warnngs from members of the public that the gunman was about to shoot, just look up who is head of the SS….
Yeah I think the glass theory is online noise. It would have to be a magic piece of glass, you don't see any glass dust etc. in these images, you'd think you would if glass had sprayed toward the podium. It's nowhere.
It wasn't selective quoting. I'd love to know his reason why them getting killed wasn't considered unthinkable and why God didn't prevent it? Maybe Trump will explain this later.
There was zero glass surrounding him
You forget that he also donated money to the democratic party.
And Rory Stewart was saying on his podcast that the area is very rural so they aren’t many roofs in the area around the venue where the rally was. As you say serious questions need to be asked @Leroy42 as that shouldn’t happen.
And the good guys shot the bad guy so what's your point exactly?
Winky face.
I wonder if that could that have deflected it towards the bystanders that were hit.
Selective quoting. He goes on to acknowledge the loss of life and injury to others
Why? The area he was in was a "gun free" zone, and one enforced by metal detectors.
Problem in this case is that bullets tend to travel further than the outer boundary. Fortunately, return fire from guns in the gun free zone also passed through the outer boundary.
A stupid, politically expedient so-called "safeguard", and the removal of which was universally supported by mental health advocacy groups and civil liberties groups. When the NRA is supported by the ACLU, National Alliance on Mental Illness, National Council on Disability, American Association for Persons with Disabilities and a score of other such organisations, one may ask whether or not there is a fundamental issue being addressed. Basically nobody with an interest in the matter supported the rule. But it made a great talking point.
Turns out it was glass that cut him. That protected glass that surrounds him, deflected the bullet and some shards of glass cut him. I guess that is part of the plan the Secret Service would have, reduces the areas they need to protect.
Wonder what sort of merchandise trump will be flogging next week after this. They may as well swear him in after all this and get it over with. His a shoe in now. That man should never have gotten any shots off. Secret service has gotten complacent. The nuts will call it a conspiracy.
All we know is a registered Republican, used a rifle the Republicans wouldn't ban, to shoot at Trump.
Thoughts and prayers 😉
With all the report watching and references to previous assassination attempts in the US, it really is mad to see how many attempts were made on folks throughout history
You might as well post the full thing:
Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers yesterday, as it was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening.
"We will fear not, but instead remain resilient in our faith and defiant in the face of wickedness.
"Our love goes out to the other victims and their families. We pray for the recovery of those who were wounded, and hold in our hearts the memory of the citizen who was so horribly killed.
"In this moment, it is more important than ever that we stand united, and show our true character as Americans, remaining strong and determined, and not allowing evil to win.
"I truly love our country, and love you all, and look forward to speaking to our great nation this week from Wisconsin.
Was basically confirmed after the first debate really..he didn't need to get his ear shot off to get those swing votes.
On the Quidditch thread
Think Chris Christie will be disgusted.
Trump's take on it. I'm not sure the family of the person killed thinks the unthinkable was avoided but we all know Trump doesn't care about them.
Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers yesterday, as it was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening
"I was at the Trump rally"
